Kelly Ripa is no stranger to changing up her hair over the years – but not all of her transformations have been a hit. The 54-year-old opened up about a styling mishap she incurred in her twenties during Friday’s installment of LIVE with Kelly and Mark.

During the show’s inbox segment, Mark Consuelos read out a letter written by a viewer that was attached with an old photograph of a young Kelly from her All My Children days. The letter read: “Kelly and Mark, I watched you both when you starred in All My Children. I was so sad when it went off the air, I have these baseball cards that I thought I would send you.”

The baseball card featured two photos of Kelly’s character, Hayley Vaughan—one showing her in a dramatic black wig and heavy makeup, and the other capturing a more natural look, with Kelly posing in a purple sweater, her blonde hair left down.

“Do you remember these,” asked Mark.

“I remember this day specifically, I don’t know if you can see the back of the card,” replied Kelly. “That’s what I looked like at the beginning of the shoot, but then they wanted to, they knew eventually they would get rid of the black wig so they just ripped the wig off my head and then were like, ‘Your hair looks fine, we don’t need to style it’.”
